What to expect
Skydance New Media's Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra drops players into the height of World War II for a cinematic action-adventure starring Captain America and Black Panther's grandfather, Azzuri.
The game weaves together four playable heroes — Steve Rogers, Azzuri, Gabriel Jones and Nanali — across an original story about the rise of Hydra. Expect Unreal Engine 5-powered set-pieces, cover-based combat and the kind of narrative polish that comes from Amy Hennig's team.
The story so far
